Man Jailed After Stabbing Incident At London Restaurant

The London Police Department says a man is behind bars after he allegedly assaulted another man in a restaurant. Officers responded after a man showed up at Saint Joseph-London with stab wounds on his face and hands following a fight at Fiesta Mexicana. Hospital staff said the wounds were serious and the man might need additional surgeries to treat them. The victim told police Antonio Juan Lara grabbed a set of kitchen tongs during the fight at the restaurant and stabbed him multiple times. Lara left the restaurant before police arrived, but turned himself in at the police department later. He faces a charge of first-degree assault. Lara was lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center.
